Celebrate Juneteenth with us this weekend and take a moment while you shop to reflect on where our country has been, and where we're heading. Juneteenth is the oldest known holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. But this holiday is not widely known by Americans. Check out our Juneteenth display, and learn about the African American Coalition of Easton - a new collaborative clearinghouse providing access to support, promotion, and advocacy of initiatives that address racial equity in the African American community of Easton.
What else? Some of our vendors will be featuring Juneteenth items honoring African American culture or highlighting red foods. Why red foods? Find out here. Food is a memorable part of any celebration and holds special significance within the history of Juneteenth. We'd like to thank the Sigal Museum for sharing this inspiring article with us Claiming Joy: The Juneteenth Menu of My Momma’s Memories. You can also enjoy a musical performance by Pentley Holmes, on stage from 10am-noon.
The Easton Farmers' Market doesn't pretend to be a bastion of diversity. We know we have a long way to go. But the market is an important community gathering space, and as such, we have a great opportunity to educate and facilitate conversation. We're committed to growing diversity in the market and strengthening race relations in the Easton Community.

So many of our farmers and vendors are also amazing Dads. They all work hard to bring you good food and beautiful flowers every week - often with their little ones in tow. Bring your own Dad to market this week and share the farmers' market experience with him! Treat him to coffee and pastry, listen to some music, fill a bag with all his favorites, and get him a souvenir t-shirt from America's longest open-air market.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL DADS OUT THERE!

RED is the color of Juneteenth. Breakaway Farms made this gorgeous sausage to collaborate with the Easton Farmers’ Market in celebration of Juneteenth!
Roasted Red Beet, Feta, & Mint Sausage!
This one is kinda crazy. Not going to lie. Simply pastured pork, roasted red beets, feta cheese, fresh mint, sea salt & black pepper. It’s sweeter than expected and the feta brings a surprising creaminess. You won’t taste the beets and the flavor that lingers reminds you of meadow tea from the fresh mint.
